| Amazing episode, again. Definitely my favorite show this season, but I'm enjoying a lot others too. |
| Seeing them in their childhood form for so long (LOL 2.5 episodes! :))) ) their adult versions in the ED looks so.... ODD... Like you could TELL that so many years have gone by.. It makes me feel nostalgic already!! :]) haha...! Really amazing series! And the animation and art is just so HAWT! Eagerly waiting for the next episode!!! |

| verrryyy good episode again - wonder if the next ep will not be a flashbk of the past! |
| personally i think it's interesting (in a good way) how it started out in the present then went back to the past for more than 1 episode. i think it'll make the main part of the show more memorable. plus, child Chihaya is soooooo cute. |
| damn it, why dont more people watch this... its so amzing |
  |
| It was a good ep as usual. The three best shows of this season have to be Mirai Nikki, Fate/Zero and this by far. |

| Omg, I'm loving this! It's simply beautiful! One of the best shows this season <333 |
 |
| 1. This anime gets me excited. 2. SO SADD. 3. I wanna see their present selves!!! 4. I LOVE THIS ANIME. The only thing I don't look forward to is Taichi... o.o Going to love Arata still, I bet. XD I want next episode, please. :DD |
| Ahh, its a really good watch, but i want the childhood arc to end! I want to see what they are doing NOw in the present. Once they go back to the present them, i will LOOOOOOVE it. More then ever ! cant wait. |
| Great anime. |
| almost cried :( i love the 3 of them playing karuta.. and now iimagine what will happen in the next ep.im imagining a grown up and HANDSOME arata ♥ i cant wait for those 3 to meet again!!! |
 |
| I started this anime without any compromise to continue to watch. I usualy don't like to watch drama and slice of life (except when the anime has other genres at same time, like... Mechas [?]). But now I can't wait for the next week. Taichi... Arata... Your bastards. You made me cry. ;-; |
 |
| Someone needs to tell these kids, IT'S A CARD GAME DAMN IT |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
Thalandor46 said: Sigh. I can't do it anymore. I spent most of the episode nitpicking over just how awful karuta is, and I can't take the characters seriously when they worship the stupid game like it's chocolate covered bacon. It's such a shame too, since the show has so many good qualities. I just can't get past the premise. Dropped. Glad I am not th only one who thinks this card game is stupid |

| lol at batman shirt is all i have to say |

| Ah oh my god I adore this show. The music is wonderful, the characters are cute, the card game is lol. It reminds me of Hikaru no Go for obvious reasons, and I dig that so hard. The childhood eps were super cute, and I'm torn between wanting more (though obviously the plot is leading to timeskipyness) and being keen for their super sexy older selves. Excited for next week! |

Yes, it's mostly played by children in schools for educational purposes. However, it's not stupid. |

| "Zip it, Retro-kun!" That made me laugh!! :D |
| Brilliant. Just brilliant. Got some laughs and heartwarming sensation that felt different from any other show. Also, the atmosphere with the music is amazing. I don't mind if the childhood arc continues till next ep, coz it really delivers!! ManInBlack said: "Zip it, Retro-kun!" That made me laugh!! :D Same here. XD |
| Question: If you are allowed to hit a bunch of card all over the place then what is the point of remembering the place of each card? I mean you can't be serious by expecting every and each player to be able to put all of those cards back perfectly in the same place as before in a little amount of time. |

I mean you can't be serious by expecting every and each player to be able to put all of those cards back perfectly in the same place as before in a little amount of time. Wouldn't you look stupid if you just hit a bunch of cards all the time? It just shows that you're not really trying to find the card and just probably cheating by hitting them all at the same time. Karuta seems to be all about memory and reflex (at least that's what I have seen in the episodes; I've never played Karuta before but I think I'll try and see if there's an online version, I want to try it myself XD) so I think its vital to memorize it so you can get points either by getting your card or getting the other from the opponent's side? I'm not so sure. But I think that's the general gist. |
| I loved it. Im glad it's going beyond my expectations. I knew I would like the series but just in 3 eps it's one of my favorites this season. Looking forward to the rest XD |
 |
| I love this. |
| This is the tearjerker of the season. Fantastic so far! |
| Best episode so far. I was crying at the end when Arata was crying. |
| fantastic episode. a great end for the childhood arc. At first I'm about to miss this series from this season's shows but now I'm glad I give it a try. |
| dat music |
| manly tears |
 |
| Loving this anime even more now :D I'm glad I watched it |
 |
| Wow, very beautiful episode. It's all about the connection and meaning that the card game gives to their friendship. I teared up. |
 |
| beautiful episode <3 I wanted to play karuta with them too ;O;!! |
 |
| This is so much better than I expected. Chihayafuru really gets to me. I couldn´t hold back my tears when I saw Arata crying. |
| Touching episode! The art is good too :D |
| I LOVE THESE CHARACTERS!!! ALL THREE OF THEM. |
| Why is this show so good?! T_T I think I love Taichi the best though lol, but they are all awesome :P Glad they went to the tournament (well, Chihaya, at least) ... so they said goodbye now ... will next episode be when they're in high school? :O |
| :( Man, this show is AMAZING... I started today, I love it so far, and I'm going to continue watching. I admire Chihaya's determination, and I really like Arata. Taichi is an amazing balance between them too. ^_^ And fun fact: -_- I just SCREAMED when I read that Mamoru Miyano plays the older Taichi. 0.0 Is he in EVERY good show that I've seen? |
| "Aiming for the mark takes precision, balance, and patience." ....Screw that, let's shoot the damn thing! |
| Now that was a touching episode. This seems like a game I would really suck at, but enjoy watching. =p |
 |
| It's too bad they have to go their separate ways. |
| Man, that was so touching at the end...., pretty awesome ^^. |

| This episode definitely makes me want to watch the rest. Episode 2 was a bit boring, I almost considered dropping this. |

| So touching ;.; |
 |
| Wow i cried so bad at the last part of this episode. i could connect with the characters so much since i play basketball and have been in similar issues. |
